Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

When almost everyone except Jia Xu focused on Old Cao Cao,

Only then did Cao Cao slowly open his eyes, and on his expressionless face, there was an expression of "As expected"!

"My lord! Did you know that Qiao Rui would retire?" Cheng Yu couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked first.

Cao Cao stood up, took a step forward, looked at the clear sky outside the meeting hall, and replied, "You can say that."

"Then how do you know?"

"it's actually really easy..."

"It's very simple?" Liu Bei thought after looking at Cao Cao's seemingly tall and mysterious figure, "Then why is there a fog in front of me?"

Cheng Yu's heart felt a bit like being scratched by a cat, it was really itchy, "My lord, don't (pretend to) be tricky, tell me what's going on!"

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu who was about to stomp his feet in a hurry, and held back a chuckle and said, "It's really simple... This old man is just counting the time, inferring that Lu Yan has almost captured Pengcheng."

"Huh?" Cheng Yu opened his mouth, not knowing how to proceed.

"This special meow is fine too?"

"Counting the time, we should take down Pengcheng? Can this be counted??"

Only Tai Shici straightened his back a little, raised his chin slightly, observed the group of colleagues making a fuss through his nostrils, and muttered in a low voice: "Mr. won Pengcheng, isn't that a logical thing? What's so surprising?"

But Liu Bei felt that Cao Cao's words were not convincing, so he came out again and asked, "Dare to ask Taiwei Cao, how are you sure that Lu Huqi has taken Pengcheng?"

"How sure?" Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei and murmured in his heart, "Should I tell you that I read it from his diary?"

After thinking about it, this is really not easy to explain, so Cao Cao simply said: "Based on my understanding and trust in Mr. Lu..."

Well, Lao Cao is just playing tricks, pretending not to say anything...

Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, and retreated to his position after cupping his hands. His identity did not allow him to pursue him relentlessly.

Just when everyone was wondering whether Boss Cao had obtained some internal information in advance, there was a sudden sound of "da da da" horseshoes outside the conference hall!

After the sound of horseshoes disappeared, it was Cao Cao's personal guards who replaced the messengers and came to report.

"Report! My lord! Great victory in Pengcheng! This is news from Lu Hussars!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly when he heard the words, and ran to the bodyguard, saying, "Mr. Lu really lived up to Cao's trust! Where's the letter? Give it to me!"

"It was really hit by the lord!"

Everyone in the hall, seeing that Cao Cao had just heard the news, couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion in their hearts.

"It's no wonder that the lord has always been as stable as Mount Tai even though he is guarding the isolated city. It's just because there is a Lu Hussar outside!"

Chapter 119 The three-way army that forced Shouchun

Qiao Rui's withdrawal meant that the siege of Xiapi was lifted.

With the defeat of the five armies of Yuan Shu and the withdrawal of the two armies of Qiao Rui and Lei Bo, the entire Xuzhou battlefield basically came to an end.

So far, except for Guangling County in Xuzhou, which is still in Liu Bei's hands, the rest of the counties and states have all fallen into the hands of Boss Cao.

It is impossible to spit out the meat that has been eaten. Although Liu Bei felt bitter in his heart, he could only watch helplessly.

The next step after the capture of Xuzhou is for the troops of Lu Yan and Cao Cao to point directly at Yuan Shu's base camp, Shouchun!

After discussing with military advisor Xun You and the generals, Lu Yan decided to set off the next day.

On the night before leaving Pengcheng, Lu Yan went to visit Chen Deng and had an in-depth discussion with him.

The content of the conversation included but was not limited to politics, military, and business, but more of it was through the opportunity of communication, so that Chen Deng could better understand Cao Ying's strategy and his true views on the aristocratic family.

Chen Deng's vision is quite good. Unlike many people who only value immediate interests, he values ​​long-term things more.

Although the current interests are equally important, the future encounters are even more important. Chen Deng saw this, and he was destined to have a good development.

The premise is that he has to live...

After a detailed discussion with Lu Yan, Chen Deng accepted the order to be transferred to Dongjun frankly.

Although Dongjun does not have the help of his own forces, Chen Deng believes that with his outstanding ability, he can also run Dongjun into another Pengguo.

After finishing talking about the business, Lu Yan glanced at Chen Deng, who was blushing, and reminded: "Yuanlong, you should stop eating sashimi in the future, I will ask Hua Tuo to give you a prescription. Help you heal your illness."

The two were chatting happily, but unexpectedly, Lu Yan suddenly said, "You are sick!"

"Illness? Your body is always strong, how come you got sick?" Chen Deng was confused, and asked with some discomfort in his heart, "How did you know, Lu Huanqi, that Dengxi eats raw fish and is even sick? "

"Look, hear and ask... A certain self-taught medical skills, seeing Yuanlong's complexion, found something wrong." Lu Yan casually gave a reason.

"Lu Hussar is also good at medicine, really versatile! Admiration!" Chen Deng responded perfunctorily, after all, whoever said he was sick would not be happy, right?

Lu Yan didn't care too much, he just mentioned it in passing because he regretted Chen Deng's talent.

It may be because Chen Deng's current symptoms are not obvious, as long as he discovers his physical problems, he will go to the doctor without anyone saying.

......

The next day, Zhang Liao and Cao Ren, the generals in command of Yingchuan's reinforcements, came to the county guard's mansion to report to Lu Yan.

After entering the hall, Cao Ren clasped fists with Zhang Liao and said, "The last general, Cao Ren (Zhang Liao), come and report!"

"Just wait for the two generals! Haha!" Lu Yan smiled and helped Zhang Liao and Cao Ren up.

The friendship between Cao Ren and Lu Yan for many years has long since lost so much etiquette and inferiority.

After reporting on the business, Cao Ren complained immediately: "Sir! We have been chasing you all the way so hard!"

Lu Yan ignored Cao Ren's bitterness, but asked, "Is there any banditry along the way?"

"Yes, but Wen Yuan and I wiped them out easily." Cao Ren grinned and continued, "There is no way! Yuan Shu's five-way army was wiped out by you, sir, and we can only pick up some leftovers." The soup is cold and roasted, and I have brought some bandits to enjoy my hand..."

Lu Yan lightly punched Cao Ren's chest and said, "Yuan Shu is in Shouchun City, and he still has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. You can fight some of them."

Cao Ren, on the other hand, was a little dismissive, and just curled his lips and said, "I hope so!"

......

The Yingchuan army was under the command of Lu Yan.

Today's army of only 2 people is full of nine generals: Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Xiahoulan, Wei Yan, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Lejin!

Sometimes too many fighters can be an annoyance.

No, Lu Yan was rubbing his forehead at this moment, looking at the generals under the tent who were eager to try, he couldn't help feeling a little tangled in his heart, "What's the point...how about giving them two thousand soldiers..."

Then, a ridiculous idea suddenly popped up in Lu Yan's mind, "I don't know how many generals Yuan Shu has left...I always feel that even if all the generals under Yuan Shu's command come out together, there may not be enough for this group of people of..."

"Ah..." Lu Yan couldn't help feeling a little annoyed for a while, and sighed again: "There are too many fierce generals, sometimes it is also a kind of trouble..."

No, Cao Jun is far more than the nine generals like Lu Yan!

Don't forget, Boss Cao also had generals such as Tai Shici, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, etc. along the way, and Liu Bei also had Guan Yu and Zhang Fei...

Looking at Cao Jun's configuration, it can be called crazy!

Cao Cao's army marched from Xiapi, while Lu Yan led the army to the boundary.

But what made Yuan Shu most uncomfortable was that Sun Ce suddenly sent troops to attack Lujiang from the south of Shouchun.

The three directions were attacked at the same time, which made Yuan Shu somewhat unable to take care of both ends.

Yuan Shu learned that Sun Ce not only left but also turned his guns to attack him, so he hurriedly called all the civil and military officials to discuss in the hall.

Yuan Shu's adviser, Yang Hong, stood up and said: "Your Majesty! Shouchun has experienced frequent floods and droughts in recent years, and everyone is short of food. Now the enemy army is attacking from three sides. If our army takes the initiative to fight, it may be difficult to resist the enemy."

"Is there a countermeasure?" Yuan Shu sat on the dragon chair with a sluggish expression.

After thinking for a while, Yang Hong replied: "It's better to fortify the walls and clear the fields, call back all the troops who went out and stick to Shouchun City.

Shouchun City is high and deep, and the enemy's desire to take it quickly is tantamount to a dream.

Cao Jun's grain roads are lengthy, and it is not easy to transport grain.

We only need to send out cavalry to harass their food roads, so that their food and grass cannot be delivered on time; when their soldiers and horses are exhausted, the army will inevitably change! "

Yuan Shu thought to himself, "Isn't the latter strategy Cao Jun's way to deal with Ji Ling? But it is quite appropriate to use it against Cao Jun himself."

"Okay, as you said..." At this point, Yuan Shu hesitated, and asked: "Then I..."

"Your Majesty will command the Lin Army to return to Runan from the west. One, His Majesty has a deep foundation in Runan, so that he can recover his vitality as quickly as possible; the other, His Majesty can also temporarily avoid Cao Jun's edge, and dampen Cao Jun's spirit." Yang Hong thought otherwise. thoughtful...

Yuan Shu felt that what Yang Hong said was very reasonable, so he ordered: "Recall the three armies of Qiao Rui, Lei Bo, and Han Xian, and then appoint Ji Ling as the general of the army, and lead a total of [-] soldiers to defend Shouchun City!"

"Where the city is and the people are, the city is destroyed and the people are dead!" Ji Ling was entrusted with a heavy responsibility again, and quickly stood up and knelt down on one knee and made a poisonous oath.

After losing contact for more than ten days, Ji Ling finally returned to Shouchun with five thousand remnants.

After explaining the details of his defeat to Yuan Shu and all the officials, Yuan Shu only punished him and demoted one rank.

Facing Cao Jun's invasion at this moment, Yuan Shu needed Ji Ling, the most trustworthy general, to step in, which also proved that he was right in not having the option of severely punishing Ji Ling.

Yuan Shu adopted Yang Hong's strategy, searched for all the food that could be found around Shouchun City, hoarded it all in Shouchun City, and left behind Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, Lei Bo, and Han Xian to lead [-] soldiers and stick to Shouchun City. spring city.

As for Yuan Shu himself and other civil and military officials, after cleaning up all the gold and jade treasures they had hidden, they rushed to Runan.

1 Twenty Chapters

Shouchun was originally a strong city.

Over the years, after Yuan Shu's expansion and reinforcement, it has become the most important town in Huainan area.

Shouchun is the hub connecting Xuzhou and the Jianghuai region, and its gains and losses are bound to affect the situation in Huainan as a whole.

Therefore, both Cao Cao and Sun Ce regard Shouchun as a top priority besides the crusade against Yuan Shu.

If Cao Cao wins Shouchun, Jiangdong will always be under the watchful eye of Cao Jun in the future.

If Sun Ce takes Shouchun, then Jiangdong will have another bridgehead to directly attack the Central Plains, and Boss Cao will feel like a thorn in his back and will not live in peace.

If Yuan Shu loses Shouchun, he will directly lose the capital to deter Jiangdong and covet the Central Plains.

But now he only wants to enjoy his life as an emperor, and Yuan Shu's thought of fighting for world hegemony has actually faded away.

Shouchun is the best if he can keep it, but if he can't keep it, he just sits in a corner and enjoys his happy time.

If Cao Cao wanted to kill them all, he, Yuan Shu, would at best not be the emperor, and go north to vote for Yuan Shao.

We are all a family, keep your head down, call out big brother, and admit your mistake again, Yuan Shao will definitely accept him Yuan Shu with old feelings...

After Yuan Shu adopted Yang Hong's suggestion, Dang even recalled the troops stationed in Jiekou and other places.

Except for the [-] troops staying in Shouchun, Yuan Shu and most of the civil and military officials moved their family members to Runan County on a large scale.

Yuan Shu also ordered the returning soldiers to take advantage of the situation to search all the food around Shouchun, intending to drive back Cao's army by fortifying the walls and clearing the fields.

But this tyrannical method caused dissatisfaction among a small group of Yuan Jun soldiers.

Among these dissatisfied people, the one with the biggest official position is General Zhengbei, Lei Bo.

But so far, Lei Bo is only a little dissatisfied.

Cao Cao is determined to win Shouchun. In order to ensure the safety of Xuzhou and prepare for the future south, Shouchun must be in his own hands no matter what!

After Yuan Jun who was stationed at Jiekou and other places retreated,

Lu Yan ordered the army to drive straight in, and ran to the city of Shouchun in one breath.

Looking at the ten-meter-high solid city wall, as well as the moat outside the city wall and the high suspension bridge;

Then look at the urn city inside the outer city wall, the turrets on the city wall, the police auxiliary, and the watch holes and perforations of the battlements;

Not to mention that there are [-] Yuan soldiers and countless civilian husbands in the city...

As long as you take a look at these things and think about them for a while, Lu Yan instantly loses the intention of attacking them. Even if 2 people get in, they may not be able to break through the outer wall.

Lu Yan stood on the hillside in the distance, using a telescope to observe the basic situation of Shouchun City.

"It's no wonder that in history, Boss Cao had to dig Surabaya to break through the city when he attacked Xiapi... The ancient strong city is indeed somewhat incomprehensible.

Looking at Shouchun's defense alone, I am afraid that it is not inferior to Xiapi City, and it can even be said to be more complete, right?

If you want to rely on human life to pile up, you don't know how many people will have to die to win such a strong city. "

Shaking his head, Lu Yan put away the binoculars, called Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan, and started looking for local people to inquire about news.

Anyway, there was still some time before Cao Cao's arrival, so Lu Yan asked people to set up camp ten miles back, while he waited for Cao Cao's army to arrive with peace of mind.
